Title: Vision problems? Balance Problems? Hearing Problems?
Post by: tony on April 24, 2009, 08:50:20 am

So lets run a marathon?

I almost don’t believe it myself....

Many of us on this list have some or all of the problems listed
above and I am sure know full well the daily challenges that they bring.
One of your fellow countrymen (country person?) has all of the above
and quite a few problems more besides. (she did have cancer in the teens?)
In May she will be attempting to run a 12mile marathon in order to raise
money to assist with the search for cures for NF2.
No Hearing, balance problems and double vision...12miles...
(I wish her well and while I will make a contribution – I just hope that she
doesn’t do herself any serious harm?)
Check out      diverbeck.blogspot.com
If you do feel you would want to support her – please do
but more than anything consider the following :
Firstly tell your friends, your family, your workmates even the papers?
Basically these things are about profile – I think someone with this level
of selfless determination should be supported – I hope you agree

Secondly not for a moment would I seek to diminish the problems we all face
-I live with most of them 24-7 myself – it’s seldom easy.
But I do consider that maybe if someone that wrecked, can and will, still,
make a contribution – then perhaps I should too ?

just a thought

Best Regards
Tony

Another amazing story of success after AN and with NF2!  I'm checking out the website.
Tony,
It is always good to read what you have written.  You are a truly amazing person.

I thought the quiet life might suit all - or any of us
apparently not
- I still dont believe one so challanged physically
would even try such a thing ?
anyone else fancy 12 miles for charity ?
Best Regards
Tony

I'll do so again this year.  Thanks for the information.
